I stumbled upon Trump on TV in a boardroom set telling some poor sap, "You're fired," and immediately felt revulsion towards "The Donald." Every time after that my reaction was confirmed. Each exposure boosts my amazement at his willful stupidity, his pride in his ignorance, his total lack of empathy, his breathtaking shallowness. What's worse is that so many admire & worship this personification of all the worst traits of humanity. Trump is the best evidence that we live in a simulation.
Geez, and we didn't even have to travel to Pandora for it. James Cameron, you prophet! (It's a major plot point in Avatar 2)
+1 for "Agolf."
His was a tragic tale. Later on he flew to the moon with the first color TV camera (that burned out,) then hard times followed when he fell in with a rough crowd in Old Detroit, meeting a toxic end.
Came here to confirm that every school I attended had about 10-15% of the chairs for lefties, and that was in the '70's. LEFT POWER!
#8 I think a slight adjustment is needed: that last third wouldn't watch. They would be oblivious to the slaughter, too distracted by the latest shenanigans on the doom scroll, or trying to figure out if their paycheck goes to rent or doctor.
#9 I thought my $30 Smartwool socks were unreasonably expensive, despite how long they last.Cervelt is mammal down, closer to a wool but extremely fine with high loft so it stays fluffy and insulating while it wicks sweat and is naturally odor-fighting like wool. It's harvested from the winter coat of New Zealand red deer, so it's extremely rare.
Oh! Of course, they saw the entire far side AT ONE MOMENT because their orbit was so high. Everyone else was too close (about 60 miles if I remember right) to see it all. Thanks.Edit: I can see it in the two photos, now that I know what to look for. Apollo 8, the horizon is straight, while Artemis is bigly curved.
It may be an acquired "taste," but I've come to appreciate those smells, especially all together.
Am I missing something? The caption says the Artemis crew is the first to see the lunar far side. Are they forgetting Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17? That's 24 people (three went twice.)
You can practice for the inevitable at Wasteland Weekend held near Edwards AFB.
Feels the same way in my 60's. My wife is in her 70's and I can assure you it's " RED ALERT- ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS" for her.

Definitely, it's 2014's "They Came Together."
Liver failure after a long illness. Although rumor has it a bear snuck into his hospital room that last fateful night...
Good article. Thank you for clearing that error up. It was nice to believe that elephants perceive us like we see puppies, but I'd rather believe something real than a comforting fiction.
If that's actually as vertical as El Cap, count me in for a run off the ledge. I am bringing my parachute, tho. (Seriously, I'll ride to Utah to jump that cliff and laugh at CK on the way down )
Yes. Yes, we are.
I was snorkeling in Key West and our party encountered half a dozen barracuda of varying size. I surfaced and pointed them out to our guides. "Nah, they're fine. No danger. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone." Ooookayyy... I kept a wary eye on the silvery torpedoes, and sure enough they ignored us. Just as the guides said but nothing like their reputation.
Inactive Ready Reserve is how you serve your full eight year contract. When you enlist, you choose how much of that eight years is active and how much IRR. (That's what a 6-by-2 contract means, 6 years active duty and 2 in the IRR.)You get paid for AD, you are able to be called back to AD in the IRR.
Ah, I was wondering what I wasn't going to watch after Colbert departs the Tiffany Network.
Yes, that's exactly what he said. Face a deadline of 8pm EST: https://www.npr.org/2026/04/07/nx-s1-5776377/iran-war-updates
My fear is that Cheeto Hitler sees nuking someone as a bucket list item before he dies in July. (I've been betting he kicks it then for about a year now.)
I looked at Polymarket and didn't see that at all; nothing about a nuclear attack on Iran. Can you give a source on your claim?
That was Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a Japanese marine engineer working for Mitsubishi who was two miles from ground zero in Hiroshima and again two miles from Nagasaki ground zero three days later. Despite health problems from radiation, he lived to 93 years old.
#17 it's been more than a quarter century and my ex still hasn't forgiven me for calling mine my "throbbing python of love." She may be mad at me for other things, now that I think of it ...
Why is he screaming, "spray! SPRAY!" like he's calling out a gun? And why is he screaming like my four year old did when he first saw a spider?? Like another poster said, we get exposed to this stuff in the armed forces and it's not worth an exclamation. Seriously dude, check your histrionics.
That is not the "Bridge Day" I had in mind. See third Saturday in October, Fayetteville WV.
Good God, those are imaginative solutions. You and your excellent brain rock, thisisjunk.
Such filth! Horrible!!1! Don't you DARE drop more of that armpit licking. I'm warning you...
